Have you ever met anyone in your life who could make you laugh like Tom Stillman? Probably. But has anyone ever been able to talk you into doing the wackiest stuff you’ve ever done – like Tom Stillman? Many will say, “OH NO! No way!!” Did the boy live life BIG, or what? Yup, BIG he was. Did he play soccer with heart? You betcha, he did! As a freshman, he was nominated All-American by coaches in his league when he played for Pembroke State College in 1964. That’s how good he was.

No one was more armed with new concepts and methods of selling than Tom. We kidded him about his wild left coast ideas, but they usually worked. Many of us in this business would not be as smart as we are today were in not for Tom Stillman. A lasting picture will always be the Mercedes with...

On behalf of Aunt Dy and our family, I would like to thank you for joining us to remember someone special to us all My Uncle Tommy!

Some of you may remember me as Tommy and Dy’s Best Man but for now we are here to remember, what I feel was one of the “Worlds Best Men”

At a time like this words are often hard to put together however, Audacious, Compassionate Cherished Respected Understanding and Admiration are just a few that come to my mind. Each of you I am sure has one...
